dystopian reality back in the days many thought that 1984 was dystopia and all these sci fi movies like logans run soylent green and silent running were just too dark but now it's not science fiction anymore 'cause it's our reality – right now 1984 has become real and be sure (that) they won't turn back the wheel cameras everywhere no problem to track down your phone to access your computer to know what you're doin' at work or at home drones up in the sky able to kill everything masses stunned by consumption sedated and conditioned just to fit in what can you do? nothing where can you flee? nowhere planet earth is under observation and not only god knows it all what can you do? nothing where can you flee? nowhere planet earth is not free anymore we are all prisoners in one big cell

i drink 00:43
I drink a cold beer on a warm summer day, that's ok with me a glass of red wine is some pleasure, indeed but the hard stuff i just swallow because of the effect i just wanna get wrecked i drink to hurt myself i drink to get wasted i drink to ease the stress and not cause of the taste I drink to lose control i drink to feel nomore i drink to stop my thoughts i don't care if it's rum or vodka and now i stop

Lack gesoffen Die Nazizeit war 'ne Scheißzeit wer da anders denkt hat den Arsch offen nicht Gutes gab's in dieser Dunkelheit wer da irgendwas sieht hat doch Lack gesoffen und wenn du heut' marschierst träumst du von der guten alten Zeit dann gibt’s keine Entschuldigung jeder deiner Schritte geht zu weit „Wir sind das Volk!“ skandierst herumschreist vor dem Flüchtlingsheim dann gibt’s keine Entschuldigung du musst einfach ein Arschloch sein Faschistisches Gedankengut Patriotismus, Rassistendreck waren sind und bleiben Scheiße waren sind und bleiben Scheiße kein Verständnis keine Toleranz kein Vergleich mit Links Rechts bleibt Scheiße voll und ganz!

Die Sache mit der Sleater Kinney Platte du sagst Christen können keine Feministen sein nee das geht in deinen eingeengten Kopp nicht rein Hildegard von Bingen war schon mal weit vorn dabei auch heute lautet die Devise: Gleichheit und ich hör' Sleater Kinney und Team Dresch Bikini Kill, 7 Year Bitch und Tribe 8 Parole Trixi, auch mal Sookee, wenn's grad passt und auf deinen bullshit hab ich keinen Bock Jesus war härter drauf, als du denkst hat Frauen so behandelt wie es damals gar nicht ging Feministische Theologie, schon mal gehört? Er hat in vielen Dingen die Gesellschaft verstört ich hör Sleater Kinney und Team Dresch Lunachicks, Babes in Toyland und L7 Beyond Pink, Harum Scarum , wenn's grad passt und auf deine Klischees hab ich keinen Bock ...Patti Smith, Lassie Singers, wenn's grad passt...

fuck lookism 00:41
fuck lookism fuck lookism it's always 'bout beauty standards and even the correct people are like: "oh, you're so slim" fuck this, i eat a pizza now and then i drink a cola! fuck lookism facebook picture challenge even the punks do an one hour styling fuck this – i wear what i put on this morning without thinkin' grasping for love longing for approval where does your self esteem really come from? who do you depend on? the meaning of human beings? you look great because you're yourself you are pretty as you are!

the nuns 01:55
The nuns Black Flag wanted her to slip it in Bad Religion had 'em making out on their shirts (some) black metal band showed her masturbating but who cares, their scene is weird anyway and of course in a patriarchic world it's hard for these wild men to understand when a women takes control of her own sexuality and decides to keep it far away from them the nuns the nuns the nuns the nuns the nuns early monestarys run by nuns had some feminist tendencies 'cause back then it was rare for women to live self determined and the nuns in the redlight of my town run a great institution for the homeless and on their church there is a sign that says: there is nothing that christ can't cope with - anyway the nuns...

in bewegung 00:43
in Bewegung man dachte man ginge für immer zusammen bis zum großen Finale doch Menschen verändern sich nun mal bis dann kaum noch Gemeinsames da ist die Ziele, die Träume wofür man auch lebt es ist einfach nicht mehr das gleiche Entscheidungen und Prioritäten und es stellen sich andere Weichen du musst wissen was du tust und ich muss es auch und alles geht irgendwie weiter und neues kommt immer dazu und ich wünsche dir das Beste auf dem Weg den du jetzt gehst und alles geht irgendwie weiter vielleicht werden wir uns mal seh'n

St. Pauli ist überbewertet St Pauli ist überbewertet St Pauli ist nicht nur schön St Pauli, du nervst total St Pauli muss untergeh'n dieses Gelaber und auf jedem Shirt Lokalpatriotismus das Viertel wird verklärt hier war nicht alles geil falsches wird romantisiert die Matrosen war'n nicht nur entspannt die Luden haben hier Leben zerstört Die Spuren der Nazis die sieht man noch heut' der Hamburger Berg heißt nach wie vor so wie sie es wollten und Geld wurde hier stets verdient von wegen „Alles mit Herz“ St. Pauli war auch immer Konsum oberflächlich und Kommerz und trotzdem lieb ich den Hafen und trotzdem lieb ich die Bars Gitarren und Gesang und natürlich die Hafenstraße und all die bunten Menschen und wenn die Möwen schrei'n dann denk ich: es ist schon ok hier noch ein Weilchen zu sein

call it what you will for some time we thought it would work to be a part of this scene that is in our hearts but we found out real soon no matter what we do our how we live our lifes that we will never belong cause you can be patriotic or a sexist pig you can be a real asshole completely dumb in your head but you can never sing about your faith in god above even if your star shines black they put you in a simple box so full of stereotypes prejudging us all you call it religious we call it spiritual you call it religious we call it spiritual so fight your fight alone we do it our way are out for justice against oppression we will stay against racism 'gainst homophobia against sexism or any shit so far from love for equality for humanity for a world where everybody can live freely you call it religious we call it spiritual and yeah we could skip the Jesus-part change some lyrics and our name but do you really think that's punk? i think that would be fucking lame we will always sing about Christ the same as we'll always speak out against unjustice and oppression 'cause that's what we think hardcore is about
